Re: Ford Five Hundred

I don't really see Crown Vic/Grand Marquis in it at all I think tru504187211 has it. The way the headlights and grille are look a bit like a Focus but sort of stretched bigger. The dash also has the Focus look to it.

DOH! You would disagree!! I am looking at my 2003 Marauder brochure and with regard to the headlights, they actually look more like the current Deville IMO. The lights are compressed horozontally for this new car compared to the Marauder, but look at the rims, they are practically IDENTICAL to the big Merc's. I'm sorry, but the grille does look like the Marauders as well, complete with the appropriate Ford/Merc logo right in the center! Check again.

Pretty artless, but that's the hallmark of Ford... barring the new Mustang concept, of course (but even that is a Mach 1/Shelby 500 rip off). It's just plain boring to look at. The exterior is generic, and the interior isn't even on par with Lincoln.

Re: Ford Five Hundred

The rims?? They don't even have the same amount of spokes and they aren't chrome!! But they are just about identical to Taurus ones The grille does look a little bit like a Crown Vic one but not the Marauder. Most cars have an emblem in the centre of the grille.

I dunno Ralph, I guess I just don't got the same imagination as you
